As gay athletes and coaches openly move onto the playing fields, many are still grappling with the subtle messages they received while growing up: that homosexuality is something to be mocked, avoided or feared and is completely incompatible with athletics.

Blurb:
Novelist Jorie Price doesn’t believe in the existence of shape-shifting creatures or true love. She leads a solitary life, and the paranormal romances she writes are pure fiction for her.
Griffin Westmore knows better — at least about one of these two things. She doesn’t believe in love either, but she’s one of the not-so-fictional shape-shifters. She’s also a Saru — an elite soldier, investigator, and if need be an assassin with the mission to protect the shape-shifters’ secret existence at any cost.
When Jorie gets too close to the truth in her latest shape-shifter romance, Griffin is sent to investigate — and if necessary to destroy the manuscript before it’s published and to kill the writer.
